Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a huge off-white head. The aroma is sweet with quite strong aroma of hops and Medium notes of grass and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and hops, lending it notes of peaches and grass, leading to a nicely bitter finish.

Bottle and served in standard pint glass: Slightly hazy golden hue topped by a fluffy head which left good lace upon the glassware. The aroma has notes of musty and herbal hops, grain, some citric acidity and yes once again pacman yeast. The taste is rather straight forward with moderate hop bitterness and acidity over a layer of bready malts. Once again I am finding a metallic nature about the finish which in the case of an APA is not so bad. The mouth feel is surprisingly soft and smooth, easy to drink brew. Overall a drinkable beer but there are many more Pale Ales far better than this.

I had this beer and the 200 Meter back to back. At first, I didn’t realize that Eugene City was a Rogue spin-off, much like North Coast launched Acme. The parallel continues in my mind, as I found these Eugene City beers to be pretty inferior to the standard set by the beers of the Rogue family (although not lousy, as the Acme beers are compared to North Coast’s excellent beers). I was less than impressed by both the Triple Jump and the 200 Meter.
The Triple Jump poured a medium hazy amber with very nice, smooth, creamy head that was worthy of a thousand photographs. Aroma was fainter than I expected for a pale ale, but discernibly hoppy with some faint citrusness. Flavor was quite mild, a bit of what I will describe as wheatiness (although I am pretty sure there is no wheat in this beer) or straw-glass flavor balanced with some light citrus hoppiness. Not bad, but hardly outstanding.
I would weakly recommend this beer. I bought this bottle at Discount Liquor in Milwaukee.

Lightly hazed light copper color. Tallish, lasting cream colored head. Ruby red grape fruit and hints of pale malts. I catch a bit of sweat as well. Caramel flavors in the start. Citric flavors follow, with some orange and grapefruit. Bitterness in the finish is rather generic and just bitter. Soft and smooth in feel. A true to form APA.
